there's gotta be a few weird cranks who like him for some obscure niche policy like committing to increased bean production by 2045*
*I made this up, I am pretty sure it is not a real Xi policy
some people probably like him because they heard he was killing muslims and they think that's good.
There's also a decent amount of union members and intellectuals who actually read some stuff and like him because he's consistently pro-worker and has very common sense policy for a moderate communist.
By decent amount I mean a sight digit percentage of the population. There are plenty of DSA/IWW people that like Xi.
This site doesn't have a monopoly on supporting Chinese communism
Well he sure hasn't committed to lowering bean production by 2045 :xi-shining:
Well, could be a handful of semi well-informed, aggressively contrarian chuds that like him just because he makes liberals big mad
A case where being aggressively contrarian takes precedence over their racism against Chinese people?
But besides that, isn't Putin usually the guy those kinds of chuds go for when it comes to making liberals mad?
The Christchurch shooter's manifesto said that he wanted to create an ethnostate for crackas the same way China was a Han ethnostate.
Utterly stupid, but they exist.
Ah yes, the weirdos who believe all the anti-China beats but think they're "good."
"China is so based, they can do an entire holocaust and leave zero evidence behind!" :sus-torment:
Nazis: we should do to Muslims in Europe what China is doing to the Uyghurs.
Leftists: we should do for Muslims in Europe what China is doing for the Uyghurs.
True horseshoe theory.
Pretty sure it's the same group who like Israel because it's a fascist utopia
China is an ethnostate because they're all Asian:dumpster-fire: <- mmm delicious ideology
There's a few chuds who can pretend that they aren't racist while trying to use China as a cudgel against libs for the same thing. Not many, but they do exist
Virgin 5% contrarians who think Xi is cool because he pisses off liberals vs chad 17% who know who Xi is but refuses to buy into Western propaganda
Oh yeah I love Xi Jinping. He was great with Chris Tucker in Rush Hour!
- 1 in 20 Americans.
Every poll has at least 5% saying something totally bonkers. I think people just pick any answer for fun/because it’s funny.
I've been polled before though I think some of my answers have scared them off
I can imagine Chinese expats that aren't lib-brained, Vietnamese-American people, non-gusano Cubans/Venezuelans and Russians might make up a few percent and joke answers covers the rest.
I can imagine Chinese expats that aren’t lib-brained
Many Chinese expats I've had conversations with are anti communist. Some are Libs others have been straight up Fascists. They specifically left because they want more "freedom" aka want to exploit poor people.
Most of the Chinese expats I've met want more "freedom," but when pressed, it's freedom from a controlling parent. Who they may or may not have conflated with the government.
Just wait till we get to XVII Jinping, that's when shit'll get real
one time at work people were talking about chinas industrial base growing and i was like "yea deng xiaopings reforms really invigorated the chinese economy" and they were like "i hope he is deposed, fuck the evil ccp" and i realized they thought deng was xi...
Vladimir Stalin needs to stop invading Ukraine, otherwise Charles Churchill and Fidel Roosevelt will have to whip up the League of Nations and cross the Pacific front
I remember this shit and damn I didn't realize TV looked so bad in 2007.

WE DON'T EVEN NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH IS. YOU-ESS-AY! YOU-ESS-AY!
62% of Americans are basically normal humans who don't seem to care much about western propaganda?
you're assuming that ignorance is enough to deter american bloodlust. I mean, jesus, more than half of them can't even pin Iran on a fucking map
17% of Americans: "yes I know he's the leader of our biggest geopolitical rival. No I do not have an opinion" :gigachad:
As always, vocal minorities on Reddit and the internet give the false impression that more Americans are aware of who he even is. Or really about anything regarding China.
My typical experience with mentioning Xi Jinping goes like this:
"He's president of China."
"They have a president? I thought they were communist."
The only upside to our education system being so shit is it makes all the foreign policy propaganda incomprehensible to most lay people
40% of Americans admitted they don't know who Xi Jinping is :xi-reactionary-spotted:
i would probably answer that I don't know who he is in a poll because I think polls are :cia: honeypots
then again, I continue to use this site, so maybe I'm a fool :shatter:
I usually operate assuming 60% of Americans have never heard of anything that happens outside of their daily lives. I haven't been proven wrong yet.
You think they'd know him from his many hit films with the Walt Disney Company!
Most people who did business with China from the 2000's on who aren't NGO plants generally like Xi, because he made things way easier for American businesses and consultants by reducing local corruption. Also, many if them saw the infrastructure reforms occur in real time while things sat at a stand still in the U.S.
My father remembers going to Dongguan when it was mostly fields and then going back every two years over a decade and every time the entire city looked different, either new roads, new buildings, new train lines, new airports, etc. It will definitely become difficult when they have to start tearing stuff down, but I am hoping they are working on that.
While living in South Korea I knew people who had done business with China. To this day, I have never heard a South Korean say anything positive about China, although this may have been because I was a lib when I lived there. I once even overheard a conversation in a restaurant among Korean boomers talking about “중국놈,” an aggressively rude way of referring to Chinese people. And, meanwhile, every Chinese person I met in Korea was nice and smart, although now I strongly suspect them of being libs. One admitted to me that she thought Tibet should be free; another was the son of a banker. But they were still both just very pleasant people to be around.
South Koreans had their own boom around the same time, so they think that it is because of capitalism and the 'unique character of the Korean people' (racism) that they are successful, not because they also used a planned economic model which leveraged their close relationship with the U.S., like Japan, however they were willing to export their manufacturing capabilities like the U.S, unlike Japan.
Korea is weird because I want to like them, but South Koreans are just such assholes to everybody, especially in the eSports scene. I would guess their lower end working class is probably fine, I just never interact with them.
There is a lot of cool stuff that happens there but it mostly isn't reported in the corporate media. A majority of the people in the south support the DPRK and they do all kinds of cool strike action all the time. Out of all the imperial core countries, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Greece seem the likeliest to fall to communism within our lifetimes, but South Korea might not be far behind. That being said, they tend to be remarkably aggressive g*mers.
